Vechernyaya Moskva (Russian: Вечерняя Москва, lit.'Evening Moscow') is a Russian local newspaper[1] published in Moscow since 6 December 1923 daily (except Saturday and Sunday).[2] It was founded as an organ of the Mossovet, later as an organ of the city committee of the CPSU and the Mossovet. Since 1990 it is published by the joint-stock company Concern 'Vechernyaya Moskva'.[3]
